Substring (between characters)

If I have the String, for example - GET /www.google.com HTTP/1.1

and I want to make the host address into a substring (www.google.com), is there a way of using the first and second '/' characters to define this?

I could use indexOf("/")

to find the first bit but there may be several more forward slashes in the string.

I'm concerned that if I use something like that or indexOf("HTTP")

I will end up with possibly the file name too.

i.e. I started with:GET /www.google.com/fileName HTTP/1.1

Or is there a better way?
